I'm voting for PKU (#3).
I didn't like the music in #1. I wish I had more to say but I just can't get past that. Sorry.
#2 seemed rather dry. The animation was good, but the narration was like someone reading a couple of paragraphs out of a textbook. I didn't feel like the narrator was explaining anything to me but simply reciting a script.
#3 had what I found deficient in both of the above videos (and yes, I do have Thomas Dolby on my iPod--so sue me!). The animation was cute and the explanations were clear and included examples. (Very important!) I didn't care too much for the Coke commercial--the idea was clever, but for all the trouble they went through they could have made a faux commercial that was biology related. Maybe I'm nitpicking a bit about the Coke ad, but those are my thoughts.
There you have it--my vote and the why.
